Faythe finds refuge and friendship with three women at a boarding house in Briarcliff and begins to plot her revenge. She seduces the minister of the town as part of her plot but finds herself instead falling in love with him. Warner Mertens, an extraordinary but aging fighter who is loyal to the minister, joins Faythe in pursuing vengeance against the Downings.
An epic historical fiction novel of love and revenge, in the vein of Ken Follett’s Pillars of the Earth, debut author James T. Hogg’s Girl With a Knife Book Three: Devastation features a compelling heroine who must fight for justice and vengeance in ever dangerous 1600s Colonial New England. The trial of Robert Wentworth in Book Two: Defense continues, in chaos and cruelty, but there is no justice for the Wentworth family. Faythe must leave her home on her own, with nothing more than her horse and the Sheriff’s knife as protection and make her way to safety. But she has other plans, not shared with her friends or family. Faythe is determined to settle scores with the murderous Downing clan. Her courage must carry her through the dark forests where thieves and murderers lurk. Readers will become thoroughly invested in these compelling characters, richly portrayed by author Hogg. Much like J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, Girl with a Knife was originally a story Hogg would tell his daughters. He created a world where girls and women of all cultures are equal, or even superior, to the male characters around them, in books that will appeal to women and men of all ages.

Can Jens save the day? Or is Faythe — the Girl with a Knife — tougher even than the iron-willed, brilliant, and ruthless Martha Downing? The next book in the Girl with a Knife series will keep you in suspense until the very last page.
Book 5: The explosive conclusion to the series, beginning with a new trial again riddled with fraud and brutality. Faythe faces heartbreak and torture as she defends her honor and that of her comrades. As justice and mercy are served, lessons are learned and new loves are discovered.
